【押題理由】高考閱讀理解題中人物傳記類文章很常見。在選材時，不僅注重名家的生平，也關注與名人生活、事業息息相關的人或事，當然，也不乏一些介紹普通人學習、生活和工作等的故事。本文在命題方面突出高考命題的靈活性：既注重特定細節的準確理解，又注重推理判斷題的考查，同時涉及了事情先后順序的排列，體現了命題的多樣性。
【試題解析】1. C 第四段“he was concerned about the lack of opportunities for deaf people in America和he went to London to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people.”與C項表達雖然不同，但意思基本一致。
【考場秘招】細節題都可以從原文中找到答案，只不過為了迷惑考生，常常將原文進行改寫，換一種說法。所以，照抄原文，一字不改的不一定就是答案，而與原文意思相同的，才是正確的。
2. A 推理判斷題。可以用排除法解答此題，B項不可能，Clerc懂法語、手語、還在旅途中學習英語；C項文中既沒有說明為什么與Eliza結婚，更談不上當時是否有“綠卡”。D項沒有足夠的信息推斷掙錢多少。根據文中“an excellent teacher, learned many different language，succeeded in school”等信息可以推斷he was an intelligent man。
3. B 細節理解題。根據第6段中“they studied English and Sign Language, and discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open.”可以確定答案是B。
4. C 邏輯順序題。根據第3段Clerc went to school in Paris.、第五段became Gallaudets Sign Language teacher、第六段in 1816, after the two men studied together in Paris 和最后一段in 1819, Clerc got married.可確定其先后順序C項正確。
【考場秘招】做這類題，先找出最早的一個時間和事件，把它作為事件發生的具體點，然后使用排除法將范圍一一縮小，從而快速地選出正確答案。
5. D 主旨大意題。全文圍繞Clerc和他對美國聾兒教育的影響，所以D項正確，而A項面太窄，B項偏離主題，本文針對的不是Thomas Gallaudet，C項文中根本沒提到偏愛做一名教師。
【押題2】Years ago a John Hopkin's professor gave a group of graduate students this task: Go to the slums(貧民窟). Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and research into their background and environment. Then predict their chances for the future.
The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling(匯編) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in prison.
Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the same area. Some of the boys―by then men―were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.
Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生) place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The researchers were continually told: "Well, there was a teacher..."
They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted(發揮) this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remembered her?
"No," she said, "no I really couldn't." And then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners: "I loved those boys."
1. What were a group of graduate students instructed to do?
A. To research into the living conditions of the poor citizens.
B. To foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids
C. To study 200 boys between 12 to 16 and predict their future.
D. To survey the background and environment of 200 teenagers.
2. Seeing only four boys with bad records, the researchers probably felt ______.
A. relieved B. surprised C. disappointed D. frustrated
3. Most of the 200 surveyed boys grew into good citizens because _________.
A. their parents were strict with them
B. they had great ambition as children
C. they were expected to do good deeds
D. a woman teacher loved and cared them
4. What conclusion can we draw from the story?
A. Love can work miracles.
B. Like teacher, like pupil.
C. Adversity leads to prosperity.
D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.

1. C 細節理解。根據第一段內容可知，教授給研究生布置的任務是調查在貧民窟生活的200個男孩的家庭背景，并預測他們的未來。

【押題3】Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, I was asked to see a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
He was Matthew. When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles(障礙) and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain. He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.
When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles（障礙） than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I got the news that Matthew had passed away and a letter Matthew had written me a few days before:
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. The doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you some day I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I’ll never make it. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.
Thank you for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew

【押題理由】記敘文是閱讀理解部分必考的內容，特別是具有深厚思想內涵的文章，以達到通過閱讀對考生進行人文熏陶的目的。本文即是勵志的記敘文，體現出了這一命題原則的導向性。
1. A 細節理解。第二段中的最后一句表明答案為A。
2.C 推理判斷。根據文章的第三、四段可知，Matthew對自己的未來充滿了憧憬和希望，夢想未來參加奧運會奪取金牌，因此我們可判斷：他面對疾病表現的非常樂觀。
3. D推理判斷。 在第四段中，Matthew說，他將來自己要奪取金牌，讓作者看看。可見Matthew的自尊心非常強，他不愿意被別人同情。
4. B 推理判斷。根據Mathew的來信的第一句可判斷最佳答案為B。
【考場秘招】根據事實進行推理和判斷的能力是高考能力考查的范圍之一。Matthew來信的第一句為：My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.，由此我們可以推斷，在那次見面以后，作者曾給Matthew寄過照片，換言之“他們保持著聯系”。
【押題4】I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.
I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.
I planned to make
small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor's front porches(門廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: "Happy
Holidays from
I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.
My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.
This morning I found a
small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply: Resident,
The Thank You card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, "Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it."
I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady's basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.
1. How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?
A. Nine. B. Eight. C. Ten. D. Eleven.
2. Where did the friendly lady live?
A. She lived at the end of
B. Her address was
C. She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.
D. The author was not sure about her address at all.
3. How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?
A. They liked the gifts very much and were thankful.
B. They were thankful that they wanted to be friends.
C. They all made phone calls to say “Thank You”.
D. They all visited him by person to show gratitude.
1. C 細節理解。第二段的第一句話表明作者要送10份圣誕禮物。
2. D 推理判斷。5104 Northumberland Road是作者的地址，A項錯誤；作者推測那位老太太住在他們通常在早上見面的地方，但是下文說花籃放錯了地方，可見她并不在那里住，故B項也錯誤。由于作者放錯花籃，病中的Mr. Kelly收到了圣誕節禮物，但是文中沒有談到那位老太太和Mr. Kelly同住一室，因此C項也錯誤。可見作者不知道那位老太太到究竟住在何處。
3. A 推理判斷。在第五、六中談到了作者的鄰居在收到禮物之后的種種反應：有的當面感謝、有的打電話感謝、有的寄來賀卡，那么概括起來就是：鄰居對作者的舉動充滿感激。
4. B 主旨大意。最后一段的最后一句話為主題句，概括了本段主旨大意，選項B的陳述與最后一句同義。
【考場秘招】文章的主旨大意通常體現在文章的開頭或結尾。而段落大意也多體現在第一句或最后一句。顯然，我們可以根據文章的最后一段的最后一句選出最佳答案。
【押題5】Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass(巴斯魚) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure(魚餌) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.―two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago.
Today the boy is a successful architect in
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
1. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?
A. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.

C. it was a most popular fishing spot
D. their children enjoyed fishing there
4. What does the story imply?
A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B. An ethical decision is always easy to make.
C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions.
【押題理由】“心靈雞湯”類記敘文是近幾年高考的熱點題材。本文通過記述一個男孩與父親的一次釣魚，揭示了深刻的人生哲理：做人要堅持原則，即使任何人不知道你做了什么。
1. C 細節理解。 第三段中的“The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch.”為暗示，父親發現離巴斯魚的“休魚期”結束還有兩個小時，因此他當即決定“You’ll have to put it back, son”。
2. D 推理判斷。由第五段中的句子“the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed”可判斷，這位父親的態度非常堅定，不能更改。
3. B 推理判斷。根據最后一段可知，當年那個孩子在成年后也帶著自己的孩子來到與父親曾經垂釣的湖邊釣魚，他要把父親教給他的做人的道理傳給下一代。
4. A 主旨大意。文章的主旨大意通常在最后一段或最后一句體現出來。本文的寫作目的就隱含在文章的最后一句“For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.”選項A的陳述與句意相符。

When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was
suggested―7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in
She wrote, "You'll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat." So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split(劈開) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, "I'm Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?"
She replied with a smile, "I don't know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

【押題理由】本文思想性和趣味性非常強，士兵John面臨一種嚴峻的考驗：究竟應該看重女友的外表美還是心靈美呢？文章豐富的思想內涵是對學生的心靈一種陶冶，縝密的邏輯性有利于培養學生的思維能力。
1. B 推理判斷。根據第二段的第一、二句可知，書中的批注使John Blanchard對書原來的主人產生了興趣。
2. A 細節理解。根據第三段的第二句話可知，John Blanchard和Miss Hollis Maynell取得聯系后，第二天被派到國外參戰。
3. C 推理判斷。根據最后一段可知， 這個佩帶玫瑰的婦女并不知道John Blanchard和Miss Hollis Maynell的約會情況。
4. D 主旨大意。文章從兩人的認識和交往寫起，John經過了火車站的考驗，最后通過考驗，可見兩人之所以走到一起是因為“心靈有約”，D揭示了全文的大意。
【考場秘招】在本文中“rose”是John與女友在火車站約會的暗號。在見面時，the woman with a rose是對John Blanchard的嚴峻考驗。可見，“rose”是故事發展的線索。文章最后的結局表明：心靈的吸引最終幫助John做出正確的選擇，可見文章的題目應該是“心靈之約”或“玫瑰之約”。
